A project to rework Tierra for open-ended evolution.
Issues we've considered include:
- Sex. Allowing SexualReproduction is a priority.
- Diversity. There are two issues (so far) here. The Tierra system quickly converged on size-minimal solutions. We aim to encourage OpenEndedGrowth, which requires some attention to limiting factors as well. In addition, plans are afoot to include DifferentiatedResources which will promote ecological diversity.
There is a working preliminary graphical version! (sdejager 11/08/04) I'm keeping a ToDoList so I don't lose track of anything.
The code to date can be checked out via subversion at the repository URL, or it can simply be browsed.
There is still a working preliminary graphical version... and it's still the same one. This project is more or less on hold, at least until September and probably longer. (sdejager 20/03/05)
